I believe the correct (Hebrew) pronouciation is mee-KHAL, with the glutteral "ch" sound in Hebrew and German. :) However, you probably wouldn't get that in an English-speaking country.

I'm sure I've heard it pronounced like Michael by English speakers. I am very ignorant of Hebrew so don't take my word for it, but the *English* pronunciation might well be like Michael. Think of Achan, Enoch, Malachi etc. which use the hard "k" sound in English._____________________________________________________________________♥Elinor♥'Why do people with closed minds, always open their mouths?'

That's true. I don't actually know why Enoch, Achan, and Malachi are different. Maybe you could ask Miss Claire?The English pron'n of Michal could be like Michael or MEE-kal or mee-KAL. It depends, and there isn't really a 'right' way to say it in English.
